Two ways in: pay for school (629 U.S. schools offer Electrical and Power Transmission Installers programs at certificate/associate level, median net price $8,759/yr) or get paid to train (995 registered apprenticeship programs in the federal database). Federal program data groups electrical lineman with related trades in one category (Electrical and Power Transmission Installers), so school counts cover the category. Union/utility apprenticeships dominate entry; lineman schools are short pre-apprenticeship programs.
Working electrical lineman professionals earn a median of $100,200/yr nationally — state medians range from $75,420 (Arizona) to $134,340 (Hawaii). Wage data: U.S. Dept of Labor via CareerOneStop.

About half of states run their own apprenticeship agencies (including NY, MN, OR, VT, WA, DC) and are under-reported in the federal database — a low count there does not mean apprenticeships don't exist in that state.
